I have been reading these comments for a long time and never had much to say. But the drone thing got to me.
I’m an inactive private, instrument rated pilot, 86 years in a few days. I am a CERTIFIED drone operator. I observe all the rules regarding drone flying. BUT, and here is where I totally agree with much that has been said in this forum, I have a few friends that have drones, fly as hobbyist and routinely bust the rules. One of them had a blast flying up to 4,000 feet agl, at night!! Wasn’t that a blast. He sure thought so. They don’t know the rules (laws) and don’t want to know them. Sad, very sad.
